Cognitive behavioral therapy in Barcelona

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Barcelona is one of the most effective and scientifically grounded ways to regain stability, clarity of thinking, and calm in everyday life. At SENSOR23 we approach this type of treatment with particular care. For us, cognitive behavioral therapy is not just conversations, but structured work with thinking, emotions, and habitual behavior that helps a person change their life step by step.

These conditions lead to problems with memory, concentration and emotions, reducing productivity and worsening literally all areas of human life: from family relationships to success at work. And they often lead to a complete loss of cognitive skills and emotional control.

What CBT involves

To begin with, it is important to understand who needs cognitive behavioral therapy, what it is, and what results can be expected. CBT helps you see the connection between how we think, what we feel, and how we act. A person often lives for years in repeating scenarios: anxiety, panic attacks, procrastination, destructive relationships, endless guilt, compulsive actions. It seems as if this is just how the personality is built and nothing can be done about it.

Cognitive behavioral therapy shows that a significant part of the condition depends on automatic thoughts and habitual reactions that once helped to survive a difficult situation but now only interfere. In sessions, together with a specialist, you learn to notice these thoughts, test them against reality, choose different reactions, and build new stable patterns of behavior.The methods of cognitive behavioral therapy are based on scientific research. They include working with negative beliefs, exposure in cases of fear and panic, learning self-regulation skills, working with behavioral habits, thought and emotion journals, and homework.

At SENSOR23 we supplement these methods with neurotechnologies and medical support so that the changes become more deeply consolidated and proceed more gently for the body.

Indications for cognitive behavioral therapy

CBT has been well studied and has proven effective for a wide range of conditions. The best known areas are cognitive behavioral therapy for panic attacks and for depression. These are precisely the disorders for which CBT is often recommended as one of the first-line methods.

But the range of indications is much wider. In our practice CBT helps with:

generalized anxiety and chronic worry;
obsessive thoughts and rituals;
social anxiety and fear of evaluation;
post-traumatic stress;
eating disorders;
impaired impulse control.

A separate area is cognitive behavioral therapy for gambling addiction and other behavioral addictions. Here it is important not only to reduce the craving for the game but also to learn different ways to cope with stress, emptiness, boredom, and anxiety that were previously numbed by addictive behavior.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety at SENSOR23 often becomes part of a broader program. We do not just teach techniques, but in parallel we work with the brain, nervous system, and body to reduce the general level of internal tension.

The price of cognitive behavioral therapy

At SENSOR23 we try to talk about cost as openly as possible. The price is influenced by:the format of work – online or in person at the clinic;the duration of the program and the need for additional methods;the need to involve a psychiatrist, neurorehabilitation, diagnostics.

We usually discuss an approximate plan at the very first stage so that you understand what time frame and level of support to expect. In our philosophy there is no endless therapy without goals. The task is to help you come as ecologically and effectively as possible to a state in which you yourself manage your life, and not anxiety, depression, or addiction.

What to expect from treatment

It is important to understand that cognitive behavioral therapy does not produce instant miracles. It is a structured process in which changes accumulate gradually. Usually after a few weeks a person notices that:

they understand their reactions better;
it becomes easier to stop ruminating thoughts;
panic attacks become less frequent and easier;
the level of constant anxiety decreases;
there is more energy and motivation;
sleep and the ability to concentrate improve.

At the same time, cognitive behavioral therapy for depression works not only with mood but also with behavior. A person learns to bring small sources of pleasure and meaning back into life, although previously it seemed that there was no strength or desire for anything.

With panic, phobias, and social anxiety, situations that previously seemed impossible gradually become manageable. With gambling addiction and other dependencies, you learn to recognize triggers, track cravings, and choose other courses of action instead of the usual automatic scenario.

‍

How therapy is conducted

Therapy begins with an initial consultation. The specialist carefully asks about your condition, symptoms, life situation, and goals. Together you formulate a request: what you want from the treatment and what changes will mean that life has truly become different.

Then an individual plan is created. It includes regular sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy, usually once a week. In some cases, when the condition is complex and more intensive support is needed, the frequency can be higher.

In the sessions you:

analyze specific episodes that cause strong emotions;
learn to notice automatic thoughts and beliefs;
test them against reality using logic and facts;
look for more realistic and supportive formulations;
plan new actions and try them out in life;
analyze the results and adjust strategies.

A key feature of CBT is the active involvement of the client. This is not passive listening to advice. Between sessions you do small assignments, keep journals, and try new reactions in familiar situations. In other words, in practice you understand how to change your life with the help of cognitive behavioral therapy – through small conscious steps that ultimately create big changes.

At SENSOR23, CBT is often combined with other methods: neurofeedback, physiorehabilitation, molecular support, and gentle bodywork techniques. This approach helps not only to change thoughts but also to relieve the background biological load, stabilize sleep, energy, and concentration.

‍

We know how important it is to feel comfort and understanding. In our center, we put your needs first and understand that full relaxation and rebooting requires a careful and comprehensive approach.

Igor Dolgushin

How does CBT differ from regular psychotherapy?

CBT is a structured method with clear goals, a plan, and measurable results. The focus is not only on the past but also on how you think and act now. You receive concrete tools, not just emotional support.

What are the main methods of cognitive behavioral therapy that you use?

We work with automatic thoughts and beliefs, use exposure techniques for fears and panic, behavioral experiments, train self-regulation, breathing, and relaxation skills, and provide homework and self-monitoring forms. When necessary, we add neurotechnologies and medical support.

Does cognitive behavioral therapy help with panic attacks?

Yes, it is one of the most effective methods. In therapy you learn to understand the mechanism of panic, stop perceiving symptoms as a threat, master skills of managing breathing and attention, and step by step return to situations that you previously avoided.

Is it possible to treat gambling addiction with CBT?

Yes, cognitive behavioral therapy for gambling addiction helps to understand the internal reasons for the craving to play, learn new ways of coping with stress and emptiness, and build new habits. When necessary, we involve addiction specialists and medical support.

Local Expert · Level 6

A surprisingly pleasant clinic. In Spain, I’ve gotten used to slow service and appointments scheduled at least a week in advance. But here, I was seen on the same day I reached out. Maybe it's because the clinic just opened, but it was still a nice experience.

Mariusz is an excellent massage therapist! My back is happy. He relieved the tension and gave me recommendations for self-care exercises.

P.S. In the waiting area, you can make yourself a delicious cup of tea! 😊

I have quite a lot of experience working with psychotherapists, so I have something to compare with. At Sensor, with Yulia, I see results faster than ever—after just two sessions, I already feel significant progress with my issue.

I also appreciated Yulia’s comprehensive approach: in addition to the sessions, she recommended a general diagnosis, massages, and provided guidance on what to do at home.

The center itself is also very pleasant and comfortable.

Local Expert · Level 2

When I came to the center, I was full of questions and worries related to my family situation. I expected to simply relax and unwind a bit, but what I experienced turned out to be much deeper.

I was offered the Brain Spa procedure, and it became a true revelation for me. It’s not just a procedure; it’s a path to inner renewal. I felt the tension melt away, and the problems that once seemed complicated suddenly became clear and even simple. The most amazing thing was that I felt a sense of lightness, as if I could genuinely laugh for the first time in a long while.
